All Generals on one flank (thinks) Brave but rash!

We tried to give you something a bit different, with the double perspective comments.

The thinking was, the Celtiberians were never going to be able to survive the pikes and elephants and companions. Better to put the generals with the MF so those BGs would be able to manouever (a word unknown in the Spanish language during this battle!!).
I did make one error in commander placement at start. The commander who was placed with the two LF BGs on the left flank should have gone with the LF in front of the Celtiberians. This would have moved them that much further across the centre and perhaps delayed the inevitable by another turn or two!
